Use the HTML5 recorder

Instructors can record audio and video in assessments and managed assessment questions with the built-in recorder. Students can record audio and video in assessments and managed assessment submissions on the Audio and Video question types.

Select the microphone in the rich text editor window.
Optionally, click:
- Audio to record an audio file.
- Audio & Video to record a video file. Your device must have a webcam or camera to record a video file.
If using the recorder for the first time, click Allow to continue using the recorder:
Click Start Recording. It may take significant noise, such as lapping your hands or tapping the microphone, for the recording to detect the start sound and begin recording.
Click Stop Recording to end your recording.
Optionally, click Play after ending the recording to preview the recording before posting it.
Click Insert Recording to attach your recording to the update.

The recorder uploads the file during recording so there is less processing time when the video or audio recording has been completed.
When the file is attached, it will be converted into a readable format. Allow time for the conversion to complete.
